UBURU EARLY 19s
On a good night
A woman makes a special meal
gathers kinsmen for a feast
high table for her husband
koboless wives go barren for the time being.
Kneel down woman
Beg your husband
Let him give you children
If he will consider, this night will count
After a girl child, mtchw.
Hunger has no compassion
And pregnant wives are prone to beating
Make up your mind
Harvesting his yams still better than ulcer.

"we will see no change and only know fear. With our heads in the sand we won't see what is coming and then be blown away as chaff in the whirlwind. I loved this! I know this means a lot more to you." -
